Frequently Asked Questions and Resources

Do you have a question about WP E-Signature? Check the list below for our most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed here, then please contact us. We'd love to hear from you.

Who should use WP Esign?

WP Esignature is perfect for small business owners, designers, freelancers, photographers and basically anyone who's tired of sending their customers to a third party website to sign their documents. If you want to get documents or contracts signed, then you need WP Esign.

What do I need to use WP E signature?

WP Esignature is a self-hosted application that runs as a WordPress plugin. In order to use WP Esign, you must have a self-hosted WordPress website. That's pretty much it.

Does WP Esignature work on non-WordPress sites?

No. WP Esignature is a WordPress Online Contract and Document Signing Plugin, so it will NOT work on sites that are not using WordPress. Also, WP Esign is not compatible with the WordPress.com platform. You need to have a self-hosted version of WordPress to use WP Esignature.

What some of our non-wordpress customers have been doing is the following:

2. Most web hosts now of days offer FREE WordPress installation... so our users have been taking advantage of this and requesting their web host create a FREE WordPress install and then install our E-Signature plugin there. Your users would only interface with the document signing portion of the software and you would simply log into the WordPress portion to create your contracts.

Do I need to be a coder to use WP Esign?

Most definitely not. You can create, send, track and capture signatures on contracts without any coding experience. WP Esign is the most user-friendly WordPress E Signature and contract generation plugin in the market.

Can I customize the branding?

With our Upload Logo and Branding feature (business licenses only) you can add your mark to the Signer Invite Emails with a logo, tagline, and custom paragraph about your company in the footer of the email. Upload Logo & Branding also gives you the ability to add a cover page (with your logo) to your signed documents and to add a logo on the document page itself.

There will however, still be a minimal amount of ApproveMe branding in WP E-Signature. It's a delicate juggle because our goal is to build a UETA/ESIGN compliant platform that is recognized and trusted in the courtroom (much like docusign, hellosign, etc) so there needs to be a minimal amount of indication to a signer (and a judge) that a document was signed on our compliant platform... yet there needs to be enough customization that your brand/company is more front and center than the platform branding itself. The only ApproveMe related image on a document page is the 'verified seal' and the only notification on the PDF is in the footer.

Can I use WP Esign on my client sites?

Yes you can use WP ESign on clients sites. Either you can purchase a license on their behalf and use the license key for their site or you can have your clients purchase a license and provide you access to their account. A valid license is required for access to support and updates.

Is WP Esign safe, secure and legally binding?

We understand your concern for security. In fact we share the same concern which is one of the many reasons we decided to create WP E-Signature. Our plugin is the first UETA/ESIGN compliant document signing WordPress plugin.

If you're an avid reader and would love to learn more about the security of our plugin here's a few helpful links for your weekend reading pleasure 🙂

In the early stages of WP E-Signature majority of our startup costs/budget was allocated towards attorney fees, security experts, security advisors, etc. to ensure that WP E-Signature is (and will remain) the most trusted document signing WordPress plugin on the market. *We still invest heavily in the security and legalities of the electronic signature industry.

What happens to a signed document?

WP Esign does not store signed documents on an ftp server. Security is a HUGE concern of ours too.

The signatures, custom input fields, document data and audit trail events are all encrypted and stored in very strategic (and different) locations in your database. The contract itself is not stored on your ftp server (for security reasons).

While our plugin supports/generates PDF documents of a completed contract it does so only on demand. Which means a signer must have THEIR unique signer invitation url. And the document sender user MUST be logged in to download the PDF.

If a WordPress administrator were to so much as attempt to unecrypt any data and change a period to a comma in your database it would literally break the entire document and throw an "error document not found" message.

We pride ourselves in security and invest heavily in doing everything we can to protect our users and their signers (certainly more so than most WordPress plugins).

What happens to a signed document:Once the document has been digitally signed the document contents are encrypted and stored in your database (read about the document security here). The document can be downloaded a few different ways:

The short answer is that our current live version only supports plain text documents/agreements. Which means you would need to copy and paste your current agreement that is a pdf using our contract creation tool... it's actually pretty easy to do. And if you'd like we have a team that could do it on your behalf for $30 a page. You can place an order here

While our "current" eSignature platform has a built in contract builder that EXPORTS PDF's (once they've been signed) we have been secretly developing an incredibly powerful PDF drag and drop experience for those industry specific PDF's. The team has been working really hard and will begin internal beta for the PDF Upload feature in the coming months.

So while it is... currently not YET possible to import your pre-designed PDF agreements… you will be able to upload PDF’s in the near future BUT you can copy and paste the text from your PDF into our contract creation tool (or hire us to convert them for you).
